"Mouthwatering, Modern Chilean Comfort Food In the window, the neon sign states what is obvious once you clean your plate. Comida rica. Delicious food. Here, well-known chef Juan Pablo Mellado, has conquered Santiaguino palates with food your mother would prepare at home. An updated concept of a local Soda Fountain, an informal and bustlingly busy bistro,Las Cabras pays homage to homecooking. It’s a short but tasty menu where you can savor classics like "crudo de filete", Chile’s lemony take on steak tartare or the ever-popular "palta cardenal", half an avocado stuffed with shrimp salad. They also excel at sandwiches like the "fricandela" on crunchy "marraqueta" bread (Chile’s version of the baguette) and braised stews from pork to tongue. On the side, be sure to sip some of the best artisan beer brews in the country. Always full so arrive early or be prepared to wait. Quite a bar scene in the evenings and weekend.
